The Church of St Peter and St Paul is situated towards the North of the Parish of Black Notley, surrounded by the fields of Notley Hall. Inside you will find a quiet, peaceful beauty that reflects the warmth of its community, the quiet of its rural surroundings and a reverence that has come from the prayers that have been spoken for over 800 years.

Around 50 people of all ages join together on Sunday mornings for our main service. On most Sundays this is a Sung Eucharist, which is carried out with reverence and space for quiet reflection. We have a livelier Family Eucharist on the first Sunday of the month, where it is easier for children to be more involved in the service. We love having children and families as part of our community, and there is also a Sunday Club on the fourth Sunday of the month with activities for children from toddlers to teenagers.

There are a number of groups and activites connected to the church - the Women's Fellowship, the Choir and Junior Choir, the Bellringers - and all of these are very happy to have new members, so do take a look at the relevant pages on the website to find out more.
